Elm Creek Road TT

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood today! 60 and sunny for early March is awesome up here. Got outside for a 1.5 hour spin on my cross bike and a couple of hard efforts on a roughly 3 mile out and back on Elm Creek Road between Goose Lake Road and Fernbrook. The road's a bit rough but has some nice features that keep it interesting. Start/Finish is at the Stop sign onto Goose Lake Road and the turn around point is the last big crack about 50 feet before the stop sign on Fernbrook. Neil was thinking we should mark it sometime.

For what it's worth, my fastest time was 12:38. My HR monitor was not working so I couldn't tell how hard I was working or how close to VT i was.

I went inside after that and put in 2.5 hours on the trainer. Played with Hammer nutrition. The Pertpetuem goes down easy and I could feel the impact.
